Allow victim reparations to be raised internally (6)
I believe the answer is:
permit
'allow' is the definition.
(I know that allow can be written as permit)
'victim reparations to be raised internally' is the wordplay.
'internally' indicates a hidden word.
'to be raised' is a reversal indicator (going up in a down clue).
'timrep' is hidden within 'victim reparations'.
'timrep' written backwards gives 'PERMIT'.
(Other definitions for permit that I've seen before include "Consent to, allow" , "Official document giving authorisation" , "Allow, authorise" , "Licence -- license" , "Allow - visa" .)
